One of 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.040 those people will join us a little bit later on 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.840 Setan O'Connor's wife, Aaron, has all four of the final 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:25.840 four teams. And it's not one of those where you 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.360 fill out, you know, ten different brackets. She filled out one, 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.600 and she had her philosophy of why she picked these teams. 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:35.839 Although j Billis said we shouldn't be surprised of the 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:40.040 final four, I think we should be shocked, not surprised. Yukon, 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.839 no problem the other three. Man, you could be a 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.600 student of college basketball. You could be a PhD in 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.519 college basketball. You don't have those teams going to the 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:53.720 Final four, but Florida Atlantic, Connecticut, San Diego State, Miami 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:57.040 in the final four.

Lebron 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.839 James off the bench in return for the Lakers. And 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.160 I thought Lebron was going to need surgery on this foot, 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.520 and he was out longer because we thought that it 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.160 was According to him, he rolled it on somebody's shoe 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.520 and I said, no, you didn't, And I think there 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.120 maybe he needs surgery. He said two doctors told him 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.960 to get surgery, but he said that he went to 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.040 the Lebron James of feet and decided that he was 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.080 going to continue to play. I don't know what that means, 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.880 the Lebron James of feet. The doctor is the Lebron James. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.040 If well, what were the other two guys? Were they? 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.280 You know? Patrick Beverley of feet. Yes, I have a 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.840 good serad he didn't go to college. Did he get 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.040 a degree? Is just a natural phenom. The University of 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.560 Lebron he graduated. You know, Suma kum lade a feat 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:25.000 now oh a feet Gnome. I like that? Thanks, yes, Seaton, Yeah, 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.800 I did hear somebody say, shouldn't you have gone to 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:32.440 the Michael Jordan? I'd have gone back sooner and Michael 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.680 and Michael broke his foot and came back and played 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.600 eight seven seven three d P show operator Tyler's standing 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.960 by the weight is over. Will and the Bank's family 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.919 are back a new season of the Peacock original series 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.960 bell Air stream it now. New episodes Thursday only on Peacock. 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.200 So we'll talk to some college basketball best and worst 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.640 of the weekend. We'll get to more of your phone 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.920 calls coming up. By the way, the NFL is holding 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:03.200 meetings right now Competition Committee, and they want to do 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.520 their best to do away with the kickoff, but also 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:12.519 the punt. There's a real push because the punt injuries 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:17.480 and also penalties. And I'm reading some things from the 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:24.040 meetings so far that they this is a proposal once 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.200 again having touchbacks on punts returned to the twenty five 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.720 yard line, not the twenty in part to encourage teams 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.520 with a fourth down near midfield to go for it 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.200 instead of punting it away. Also, they want to do 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.560 their best to get rid of the kickoff. They've been 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.720 trying to do this for a few years now. And 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.320 I went back, had our stats guy, John Tuvey, go back, 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.040 and I said, when did they change the kickoff? And 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.240 I think it was twenty eleven. Used to be sixteen 0:03:54.360 --> 0:04:00.400 percent of the kickoffs fourteen percent, twelve percent those were 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:05.240 not returned. Now I'm looking at twenty twenty two, sixty 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:09.240 one percent not returned, fifty eight percent, sixty two percent, 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.720 sixty two percent, sixty two percent, fifty eight percent, fifty 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.599 nine percent. That's descending order here of going back to 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:21.040 twenty eleven. You can't get rid of the kickoff because 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.880 of the on side kick. If you outlaw the on 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.479 side kick, then you don't have to have a kickoff. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.680 You would start the game at the twenty five yard 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.279 line and the NFL would probably be happy with that. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.599 But these numbers, that's why they moved it up five yards. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.880 They want it through the end zone or if you're 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.720 going to have a fair catch. Now it goes out 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.240 to the twenty five yard line. But they're trying to 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:49.359 by the way, they're going to keep the tush push. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.880 The Eagles will love this. It looks like they're going 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:57.119 to keep it. The NFL has looked at this and said, 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.719 you know, rather than complain about it, maybe teams should 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:07.240 protect practice perfecting the sneak just like the Eagles do. Okay, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.760 I thought that they I was told that they were 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.160 going to address it. I thought that that they might 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.240 outlaw it. But but it's because they're always talking about, oh, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.040 somebody could get hurt. But I don't know how dangerous 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:24.039 a quarterback sneak is unless you're a defensive lineman. It's 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.320 not the quarterback. It's actually the defensive lineman who get 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.479 caught in the undertow there where they just you know, 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:36.479 bulldoze them. But now the Eagles do it great. Nobody 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.080 else does it like that. I mean, one of the 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.400 great quarterback sneakers of all time is Tom Brady, but 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.840 not like this, because this is where you just kind 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.760 of line up in that power wedge and then just 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.800 push your way forward. Because Jalen Hurts isn't a big quarterback. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.279 Buffalo does this a little bit with Josh Allen. But 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.000 now they're saying, hey, if you can't beat them, join them. 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.360 Figure it out. Yeah, yeah, that should be the game. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.960 It would have been so weak to take away a 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.320 play because somebody's too good at it. Yeah, paint. Do 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.200 you think the NFL kept it or is going to 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.360 keep it because they're like, well, you know what, even 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.080 if it's a little dangerous or could be dangerous, it's 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.120 still better than punting on fourth down. And if we 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.800 have more people going for a fourth down, it's a 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.480 more dramatic sport. Well, they're not even going for it 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.160 necessarily on fourth down. If it's third and two, third 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.200 and three. I mean, that's that's a great play. And 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.719 you're telling how many times do you have a sport 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.120 a play where I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.360 do and you can't stomp it. And there's certain players, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.840 certain you know, aspects of certain games where you go here, 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.479 it comes and I can't do anything about it. I 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.200 don't want to take it away. I liked it. I 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.159 was entertained by it. But I don't you know, the 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.440 NFL is so conscious about injuries that you want to 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.679 take away punts, you want to take away kickoffs. Here's 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.040 another thing. It feels like, just let him play football. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.760 Like some of this is just football, Like I'm I'm 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.520 out smarting you, and we don't give credit to the 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.280 teams that come up with innovations. I'm surprised they didn't 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.200 do that. You know that Tampa two. You guys can't 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.040 play the Tampa two. Why not? Well, I don't know, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.680 but it seems like nobody else is doing it. Well 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.280 they will. Hey, the West Coast offense, what are you 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:25.400 guys doing? We'll go back to the forward pass? Hey, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.440 what are you doing? We run the football? You can't 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:34.120 do You're ruining the sport and forward pass. Yeah, Paul, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.400 about the quarterbacks he played, Each team has a designated pusher, 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.080 maybe not the most friendly term, but like one guy 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.280 in each team who is allowed to push the quarterback 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.320 and no one else is allowed. If he's sometimes somehow 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.880 rolls an ankle, he's out. You're oh, well, we're down 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.640 a pusher. We have no one to push the quarterback. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.720 It's not Bob Sledding, right. I like that role. Yeah. See, 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.560 it kind of reminds me of the Bears and Refrigerator Perry. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.760 They lined him up on the goal line and being like, 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:04.360 all right, good luck tackling this guy. So you know, 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.600 the owners And if you're wondering about the competition committee, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.520 there's ten people on the competition Committee, owners, team executives, 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.600 general managers, and head coaches, and then they look at 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:19.040 each year after the season and then they'll submit proposals 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.680 to owners for review with the owners meeting. You had 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:28.679 the competition committee meeting and submitted eight potential rule changes 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.719 to be voted upon special teams. Really, that's what it's 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.160 It's all about the punt and the kickoff and how 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.400 do you take it out of the game. Yes, Paulie, 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.920 I have a new poll for the room. Okay, this 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.760 is one where you have to be honest, like double secret, 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:50.280 be honest. In the NFL, I would like more kickoffs returned. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.560 Despite the air quotes danger the play, even if it's 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.840 proven to be a more dangerous play, you still like 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.480 it or I like that the NFL is to emphasize 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.319 the play over the years to help player safety. I'm 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:05.000 fine with most touchback. I would like to have kickoffs returned, right, Yeah, 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:06.800 And why why wouldn't they give that to the fans? 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.640 I mean, I'm concerned about my entertainment. If you play 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.760 the game, you're already taking on the risk of playing 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.880 the game. It's not like where you go. Damn, I 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.040 could get hurt here. We know that, but I would 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.280 want to seek kickoffs return. Imagine the players who wouldn't 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.640 have Devin Hester would not have a career, or he 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.079 would be a wide receiver. He would he would not 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.400 Dion Sanders with punt returns. You know these guys who 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.719 made a name for themselves as great kick returners. Yes, Ton, 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.480 you may have a team with a week offense late 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.240 in the game and the only shot they have is 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.079 to have a great runback to put them in good 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.000 field position. And it comes down to maybe they have 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.000 that great special teams play that can keep him in 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.920 the game. I wondered if you had a philosophy and 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:52.200 your team just said, we're running every kickback unless it 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.160 goes out of the end zone, every single one, We're 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.320 going to take it back. Yeah, Mark, Could you imagine 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.560 being like a back lineback or a backup running back 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.720 and the only time you have a chance to make 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.960 an impact on the game is being a special teams guy. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.080 And you hear like welcome to the jungle right before 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.440 the opening kickoff, and you're ready. You're jumping up and 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:15.560 down and touch back. Yeah, I know it is, but 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.160 but it's the only way to open up the game. 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.600 Like we're gonna kick off this game. You can't go 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.760 and welcome. We're gonna put the ball on the twenty 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.800 five yard line. And I think the NFL would love 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.600 that if you just said, hey, we started the twenty 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.960 five yard line. Yeah, see, like the coin flip and 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.600 then that's it. Yeah, okay, you gotta start. That's it. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.480 No kickoff because it is a buzz kill when you're 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.920 gonna all right, man, here we go, here we go 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.760 and touch back out of the end zone. And these 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.600 guys are so good now and there's you know, they 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.960 moved it up five yards. Their legs are so powerful. Oh, 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.040 they're so powerful, and they kick it out of the 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.800 end zone. Yes, boone, Okay, this is could be a 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.720 horrible idea. What if a kickoff return for a touchdown 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:06.280 where we're ten points good? Incentivize the play, but they 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.960 don't want to. They don't want your returning the kick. 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.040 But the fans do. I know, but they don't want. 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.960 They don't want to incentivize. It's funny. The players want 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:16.800 to because they want to make a name. If you're 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.679 like a backup linebacker. You want to, you know, make 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.839 some plays, knock a ball loose. Well, who's the guy 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:26.200 with the Patriots Slater? I mean, Matthew Slater will probably 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.720 be a borderline Hall of Famer. Yeah. Uh, Steve Tasker's 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.559 name always comes up for the Hall of Fame. It's 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.280 due because of special teams. Who wantsn't like Steve Dias 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.000 I think played for the Giants. He was a special 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.600 teams guy. Yes, Ton, just kind of boring because then 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.920 it's if maybe it's easy for the broadcast because they 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:44.840 have an extra few sexs. Ago, let's meet the Patriots 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.360 offense as they come jogging out after the air after 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.000 it goes into the end zone and you get to 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.680 put up other players names or whatever. It's just really 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.480 a deflating way to start it. Getting to oay, thank 0:11:55.480 --> 0:12:02.800 you Ton, all right? Uh, Trent and Virginia leads us off. Hey, DP, 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.679 so I have an interesting tidbit about this year's Final four. Hey, 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.520 so this is the second lowest seeding in the Final four. Yeah, 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:15.320 we brought that up last hour. Yeah, but the crazy 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.640 thing is that the highest seed remaining in twenty eleven 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.960 was Yukon. Same this year, and it's twenty eleven. Yukon 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.160 won it all, so let's see if they can do 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.920 it again this year. Okay, yeah, Yukon was a four. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.240 This year. You go back to twenty eleven, Yukon was 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:33.239 a three, Kentucky four, Butler was an eight, and VCU 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.200 with shock as Smart was in eleven. So you have 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:41.360 four or five, five and nine Florida Atlantic as a nine. 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:47.920 Chris in Wisconsin joins us. Hi, Chris, what's on your mind? Hey, DP, 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.520 thanks for taking my call? Six foot six, one ninety. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.320 If I stick my tongue out, I look like a zipper. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:01.800 So I'm wondering about breaking right. I got my bracket. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.600 I made six out of eight going into the Elite eight, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:10.199 only missing Houston and Marquette, and now I got two 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.200 out of the four, got San Diego State and Yukon, 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.120 so I feel pretty good about that. However, I have 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.120 three other brackets. They were Homer brackets. I had Marquette winning. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.600 So my question is do I get bragging rights because 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.680 I got one out of you know, one decent bracket 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:31.199 out of four that's really good. No, No, you get 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:36.079 a one bracket. That's your brag bracket. It's like having 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.360 ten fantasy teams and then all of a sudden, you say, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.040 he's on my fantasy team. He's on my fantasy team, 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:42.960 and then you go, how many fantasy teams? I'm in 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.839 ten leagues? Pretty much every I would hate doing that 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.240 because you would go into a game rooting four and 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.040 against your player. Yeah, Paul, you know, as bothered as 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.839 I am by people when they bring up their fantasy 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.800 football team, I'm not so bothered when people bring up 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.760 their bracket. It's kind of I guess it's a shorter window. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.400 It's like a three week bragging. You pull out your bracket, 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.960 you show it up. But hearing about people's fantasy football teams. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.240 On Monday's Jim Beheim is leading the Celebrity Bracket Challenge, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.360 although he had Duke winning at all, Adam Sandler had 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.920 Houston winning at all. He's in second, tied for third. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:21.120 Marvin Prince, He's got Connecticut. If Yukon wins, Marvin wins. 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.000 Are you going to go to the parade without question? 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.480 You can stop asking. I'm stop asking without question. Okay, 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.960 Ray Allen's going to join us. I wonder if Ray 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.960 has some connections that if Yukon wins and Marvin and 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.800 his Huskies. Don't don't make me tear up. I feel 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.560 about Ray Allen away. Paulie feels about Walter Peton. Wow. Wow. 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.080 I went to the Ray of Hope camp. I went 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:45.920 to the Celebrity games with him Ivan Baker at the 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:51.480 Harvard Civic Center. I love Ray Allen. Wow. Back to 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.920 u DP. Sorry, well, obviously you weren't listening to how 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:58.000 to shoot when Ray was telling kids how to shoot. Huh. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:04.560 You shoot like Anthony Mason. You very very flat line drive. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.520 That's not nice, it's accurate. But you know what, if 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.360 if you can wins, we're gonna get you in that parade. Somehow, 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.760 We're gonna get you in the parade. If not, we'll 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.480 just have a little parade around the block at who's 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:25.400 got a convertible? Does anybody have a convertible? Probably have one. Okay, 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.160 we need a convertible. Maybe we'll just have a sun 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.520 roof and Marvin will stick his head out and then 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:38.560 just play ladies and gentlemen. Marvin pride, Yeah, cricket. Yeah, 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.080 I know, I'm a roof for Yeah. You know what 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.880 is Danny Hurley gonna join us? This week. Okay, Like, 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.560 let's get Danny Hurley on, just to ask him if 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.600 Marvin can be in the victory parade when you can 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.960 wins the reason. Yeah, that's it, that's all we want 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.920 to know. All right, let me take a break round 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.480 and we'll join us next. And when is uh?

I know, pretty amazing, so funny. Yeah, 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.680 you know a line that I never thought I would 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.919 say on this program. See O'Connor's wife will join us 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.520 to talk about predicting the final four. It is kind 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.400 of hilarious when you look at the sheet that has 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.840 like just a quick rundown of like the celebrity bracket 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.520 challenge and all of this stuff, and then you see 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:30.399 fan first place, Aaron Shean, Yes, she's got Yukon winning 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.600 at all. Here is the Yukon head coach Dan Hurley 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.960 after the wine. When you coach at Rhode Island, Wagner are, 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.000 you're not always getting everyone's best shot every single night. 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.280 And when you player coach at Yukon, you get the 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.440 other team's best shot every single night. It is their 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.720 super Bowl. So you know, the climb to get to 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.520 this point has been real. It's been it's been more 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.320 challenging than I thought. Let's bring in Ray Allen, the 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.080 former Yukon Husky Hall of Famer, of course, how excited 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:01.920 are you about your alma mater there? Extremely? Extremely, First 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:07.639 of all, good morning Dan. This tournament season has certainly 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:12.520 been very entertaining on both sides, men and women. And 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.639 just to see you look at the final four and 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.840 you look at the brackening the ranking of all the teams, 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.720 there's I think a nine seed, fifth seed, and then 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:27.520 four and five. Truly, to me, it shows that the 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.760 parody in college basketball that anybody could win at any 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.680 given moment. And when you think about the tournament the 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.960 way it's set up, it gives everybody a chance because 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.000 that ranking, just like for kids in high school, it 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.080 means nothing. You know, once we thought that ball up 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.480 in the air, who wants it? The baddists is ultimately 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.240 he's gonna come out on top. How is the tournament 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:52.760 changed since you played? Not at all. Just from my 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:58.360 vanished point, I talked to my kids about traveling between 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:05.320 region in tournament sites, to travel throughout America at that time. 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.800 Some of the for us, we always say this is 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.200 when we truly feel like a professional athlete, because there 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:13.720 are times when we were on the road for ten 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.040 eleven games. I'll tell you a story real quick. So 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:23.800 we played in ninety five against UCLA in Oakland, you know, 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.919 at the then Oakland Colosseum, and we stayed at the 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:32.360 Hilton by the airport. So we get beat by UCLA. 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.320 You know, they go on and win the national championship 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.960 that year, and we had been on the road because 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.000 we got sent out west. I think we're number two 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:41.960 in our brackets, so we I think we played in 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:46.679 Utah and then we moved further on to Oakland. So 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.920 we lose that game. Everybody's you know, somewhat actually happy 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.160 to go home because we had been gone for eleven dates. 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.040 You know, you figure you think everybody be sad, but 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.600 we were happier because we had been We're not used 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.320 to being away from home for so long. We get 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:05.040 back to the hotel and somebody broke into our hotel 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:09.679 and stole all of our stuff. So to add insult 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:14.040 to injury, I had to wear coach calhoun sweatsuit on 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:19.440 the plane back to Connecticut. So they took your uniforms 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.320 and everything, or did they just take your gear, your 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.399 your personal stuff, just all my personal stuff, everything you 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.720 had packed in bags, anything that I had. You figured 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.600 I was gone for eleven days, so I had basically 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.240 everything that I owned, all my CDs kids. That's the 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:39.840 thing that um so everything that it was a value 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:41.960 to me at the time, you know, it was stolen 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.879 from me. So I guess it's a story to tell now. 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.639 That didn't really matter in the long term. You stayed 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:53.800 three years, Yeah, you were playing. Now would you be 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:57.480 one and done? Uh? Were you ready to be one 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:01.400 and done? I don't think I was ready even even 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.720 three years of Yukon. I was having such a blast. 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.760 That's the thing that we lose sight of, and I 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.760 think kids forget once. Going professional is great and you 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:13.880 get to make money, but in college it's an experience 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:18.560 that I hope kids would kind of cherish and want 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:23.000 to experience, just being a collegiate athlete, being on a 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:28.080 campus and having an opportunity to make mistakes, building bonds 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.320 and long term relationships. Because I think about my college teammates. 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:36.640 We go to each other's weddings, see each other over summers, 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.600 you know, play golf together. I think that's the most 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:43.360 extensive network of friends that you'll ultimately end up having 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.560 as those even the college was are you going to 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:49.560 go to the final four that I'm planning on it. 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.280
